'lhis invention relates to scarfs and the making thereof, and it is an important ob-A ject ot the invention to avoid the necessity of a merchant carrying a large number of separate scarts in loose condition such that they must ot necessity be handled and rehandled many times in the retail sale thereof both by purchasers and sales rsons to the im airment and damage of t e scarfs1 n carrying out the invention, l take a continuous piece of scarf material, having the usual selvage edges, and I provide thereon a lon 'tudinal serles of scarf designs disposed an arranged in accordance with the present invention so that individual scarfs may be cut from the tree end portion of the strip of material as the scarfs are needed for immediate sale without disturbing the other scarf areas which remain in the lece of material in an undistributed condition, thus preserving the remaining scarf areas in an unhandled and consequently clean and satisfactory condition.

'lhus my invention enables the sellin of scarts -trom the various stores in the orm of piece goods alongside of goods of the same pattern, material, and quality, so that a scart can be provided of the same material, pattern and like as a dress, thus serving to enhance 'che ensemble eect so much desired in the modern trend of dressing.

fllhese and other objects of my invention will be more fully understood by reference to the accompanying sheet ot drawing, in which- Figure l is a diagrammatic end view of the apparatus for carrying out my invention;

Figure 2 is an elevational view of a piece of material. having the unit areas imprinted thereon; and

)Figure 3 is an elevational view of a complated scarf.

Referring now specifically to the drawing, and in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout, a piece of material l0 having opposite longitudinal selvage edges is `passed between a lower roll 11 and an upper roll 12 over supporting members 13 and 14 at each side et the rolls l1 and l2. rlhe roll l2 has a duct roll l5 mounted adjacent thereto and in peripheral contact therewith, the roll 15 in turn contacting with a fountain roll 16 mounted u on a fountain 17, containing the necessary ye for use in rinting the unit areas upon the piece of go s.

The uppxer roll 12 has areas thereon prepared in t e usual manner of print rolls tor use in printing iece goods and containing the roper con gurations for the pattern whic it is desired to impress upon the material and arranged so that when the material 10 is placed between the rolls the unit areas extend diagonally thereacross.

It will be understood that various kinds ot designs can belplaced on these rolls. In Figure 2 a lura ty of scarfs 18 is shown, in which a y portion 19 is shown having a border 20 therearound which is separated by a line 21 extending between the body portion 19 and the border 20.

The print roll 12 is approximately 16 inches in circumference. The stri of material l0 is forty inches wide, with t e print area on the roll 12 extending spirally therearound at an angle of approximately so that when the material is printed the scarfs or unit areas conforming to the scarf, extend across the material at an angle of approximately 45 and thereby produce a scart approximately 57 inches long. The dimensions, or course, can be varied in any manner desired, depending upon the hind of scarfs it may be desired to produce.

After the material is printed, as shown in Figure 2, it is cut, along the hias areas between successive unit areas into strips, see Fig. 3 as for' instance along the lines 22, 22 shown on the drawing but which may or may not appear on the goods. `When the material is cut into strips, the cut will be along the line ot the bias of the goods, as lrnown in the dress making art, and theretore the scart will have opposite longitudinal cut bias edges and opposite uncut transverse selvage end edges. lt will be thus under- Y stood that hy printing the goods in the fashion above described, the piece goods can he prepared in the usual manner and sold 'from the counters, it only being necessary for the sales person to cut a scart along the line 22 in order to provide a completed scari, an that goods conforming in pattern t the body of scarl2 or to the border thereof, can he provided so flat a complete ensemble eiect ismaintained in having a scariZ and dress of the same pattern and design.

From the foregoing description, it will be understood that the method of the present invention produces a new article of manufacture from which bias unit scarf areas, preferably in the form of parallelograms, may be cut for sales purposes, such article comprising a continuous piece of scarl3 material having longitudinal selvage edges and upon which material there is provided a longitudinal series of parallel ornamented unit areas with each unit area extending diagonally across the piece of material substantially on the .bias thereoi and including a border defining the outline of the ornamented area, the longitudinal dimension of each unit area extending across the piece oi material and of greater length than the transverse width of thennit area, the adjacent longitudinal border portions ot successive unit areas extending from edge to edge of the material and being in mutual close relation and defining therebetween a bias severing area extending entirely across the material and along which the material may be cut to obtain a separate bias unit area having opposite uncut transverse salvage end edges and opposite longitudinal cut bias edges.

While I have described more or less precisely the details of construction, l do not wish to be understood as limiting myself thereto, as I contemplate changes in form and the proportion of parts and the substitution of equivalents as circumstances may suggest or render expedient without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, scarf goods from which bias unit scarf areas in the form of parallelograms may be cut for retail sale purposes, a continuous piece of scarf material provided with longitudinal selva-ge edges and having printed upon the material a longitudinal series of parallel ornamented unit parallelogram areas, each unit area extending diagonally across the piece of material substantially on the bias thereof and including a printed border dening the outline of the ornamented area, the longitudinal dimension of each unit area extending crosswise of the piece oi material and of greater length than the transverse Width of the unit area; the adjacent longitudinal border portions of successive unit areas eX- tending from edge to edge ofthe material and being in mutual close relation and delining therebetween a bias severing area extending entirely across the material and along which the material may becut to obtain a separate bias unit area having opposite uncut transverse e. longitudinal cut bias stig 2. IThe herein described method o ing scaris, which comprises printing, upon a continuous piece oit material provided with longitudinal selvage edges, a longitudinal series oit parallel ornamented unitv parallelo ram areas with each unit area extending iagonally across the piece oi niaterial substantially on the bias thereof, and also printing borders enclosing and defining the outline ot the respective unit areas and extending from edge to edge of the material, with the adjacent longitudinal border portions ot successive unit areas in mutual close relation, and severing the piece of material along the bias severing area located between successive borders to separate the piece of material along the bias thereoi into a plurality ot bias unit scarfs having opposite uncut transverse end selvage edges and opposite longitudinal cut bias edges.

'lhe herein described method of making scarf goods, which comprises roller printing, upon a continuous piece oi scart material provided with longitudinal selvage edges, a longitudinal series of parallel ornamented unit areas including borders therefor with each unit extending substantially on the bias of the material and from' edge to edge thereof, with the adjacent longitudinal border portions of successive unit areas in mutual close relation.

6. The herein described method of making scarfs which comprises producing, upon a continuous piece of scarf material provided with longitudinal selvage edges, a longitudinal series ot parallel ornamented unit areas including borders therefor with each unit ex'- tending substantially on the bias of the niaterial and from edge to edge thereo,-witl1 the adjacent longitudinal border portions of successive unit areas in mutual close rela-f will tion, and severing the piece of material along the bias severing area located between successive borders.
